DAVID BROMBERG Unsung Treasure is a feature documentary that reveals this rich and largely untold history of David Bromberg through intimate interviews with Bromberg, archival photographs and footage, music recordings (including never-before released cuts of Bromberg's music), and interviews with his contemporaries and family. An equal passion for blues, folk, country, bluegrass and rock and roll, Bromberg’s diverse range resurfaced in 2007 when he began a musical comeback, recording an album that was recently nominated for a Grammy award. The film shows Bromberg recording his latest album USE ME with a number of musical luminaries including Keb’ Mo’, Dr. John and Vince Gill.

David Bromberg is a musician’s musician who collaborated with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia and other greats. But Bromberg stopped performing publicly in the 1980’s and turned to violin making. New Jersey director Beth Toni Kruvant, who won acclaim for Heart of Stone about Newark’s Weequahic High School, follows Bromberg as he helps to revitalize an urban community and makes a musical comeback with esteemed friends such as Dr. John and Levon Helm.

These stories unfold over the vibrant and soulful music of David Bromberg and his collaborators offering a rich companion soundtrack that tells its own narrative: a life worth living and a body of work worth pursuing.
